"When a Mom Cries"

"When a Mom Cries"

(A raw ballad about deep, unseen pain

Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

(Verse 1)

When a mom cries, it don’t sound loud

It’s a whisper in the dark when no one’s around

She don’t fall apart where her children can see

She saves her breakdowns for when she’s on her knees

(Verse 2)

She’s got a smile stitched on with threadbare hope

But behind closed doors, she can barely cope

Sleepless nights, praying hands, silent screams

Drowning in the weight of shattered dreams

(Chorus)

When a mom cries, something sacred breaks

The world don’t shake, but it should for her sake

She’s the backbone, the fire, the soul, the glue

But no one sees when she’s bleeding through

She gave her all, now she’s hollow inside

When a mom cries... part of heaven dies

(Verse 3)

Maybe she lost a child, or lost herself

Maybe love turned cold and she blamed herself

Maybe she's fighting battles no one can see

Still tucking in kids while she quietly bleeds

(Bridge)

Her tears don’t fall like thunder or rain

They fall in silence... pure, aching pain

And she still makes breakfast with red in her eyes

Still tells bedtime stories while she slowly dies

(Final Chorus)

When a mom cries, it’s a grief so deep

The kind that buries itself and never sleeps

Don’t say she’s strong just 'cause she survives

She’s dying inside, just trying to stay alive

She carries a world that no one defines

And when a mom cries… the whole world should cry

(Outro)

So if you see her smile when her soul is torn

Hold her close like you never did before

'Cause when a mom cries…

She don’t just cry…

She mourns.
